Why Setup.exe disappeared after reducing the Vista installer?

[KungfuTea]

I'm a Chinese user of your product, it's very nice! Thank you! And my English is not very well,sorry!

First,I downloaded your vLite 1.0 from http://www.vlite.net, and successful made a reduced installer of Vista Installation. And Because I uncheck the wallpapers, the installation failed.

Next time I carefully reduced the installation files, but after all, the SETUP.EXE file in the main folder disappeared after reducing! Why? I can't launch the installation without it!

Then I downloaded the version 1.1 beta, tried for many many time again, all yesterday afternoon till night, but everytime when it finished, the SETUP.EXE disappeared meanwhile.

I tried to copy all files except the INSTALL.WIM from original disk to the folder of reduced installer, but it still faild.

Today, I used another computer to do so, failed again.

Should I directly use the INSTALL.WIM, how to open it and install Vista? Or there must be some error when reducing,so the SETUP.EXE disappear by fault?

Thank you! Waiting for answer...

Did you select the component "Manual install" for removal? Because that one deletes the Setup.exe normally.

Perhaps you can post your Last_Session.ini?

Yeah,of course I checked the "manual install" component before operation, all times except the first were failed.

All the time, I copied the whole installation folder to my harddriver.

And today, I found another thing, there's another SETUP.EXE file under RESOURCES folder! I tried to use this, it was OK when I copied all other files from the original installer folder.

Now the installation is goes on... I'll get the result at once.

Thank you! I'll report my result next time.
